Adam is on around 9:02....not 12:39. A little bit of BTIKM from Ellen show. Graciejane.......I agree...LOL. Had to hunt for Adam and then we got something very short and old. I'm sorry, but I can't listen to Ariana Grande. She may be on pitch.....but you can't understand a single word she's singing. She is perky and cute though. lol And Sam Smith whose voice doesn't bother me but he sounds like he's at the dentist with rolls of cotton stuffed in his jowls (can you tell I recently had some dental work done). :D

Most interesting info I get from this Billboard list is that no one officially sold out the London 02
- and that man-of-the-moment, Harry Stiles Styles, didn't sell out either of his two nights at the Hammersmith Apollo! And by a reasonably long way.
Very surprised at that (the Harry bit especially).

It's a summary of the current box score list: www.billboard.com/biz/current-boxscorePaul McCartney leads by a wide margin. He is followed by Queen + Adam Lambert and The Killers. 2017 is coming to an end, and with it, balance sheets also come. The tour of Paul McCartney One on One - which brought him to Argentina in May 2016 - was the most successful of the year, with a ticket sale that equaled USD 67,566,928. The silver medal is worn by Queen + Adam Lambert with 3,572,980 USD; and the bronze one, The Killers with 3,021,730 USD. They continue, in the fourth place, Little Mix with 2.924.410 USD, and in the fifth, Ozuna with 2.672.415 USD - the Puerto Rican is the only Latin of the top 10 of the most collecting tours-. Below, and in that order, there are Jamiroquai (2,295,730 USD), Gorillaz (2,072,630 USD), Kasabian (1,854,650 USD), Mariah Carey (1,525,000 USD) and Depeche Mode (1,446,430 USD). Well, yes, but what does that mean? Why are the O2 concerts included, but all others not? And why are tons of other artists who had successful world wide tours running, not included? it seams a very arbitrary snapshot in time, whatever partial count they are including. If it is supposed to be for all of 2017 as part of one of these year end counts, as you are suggesting, then why are all the QAL shows where box office numbers were already reported, not there. i.e. most of the US/Canada tour has long been reported. And why are so many other tours missing. It just seems so arbitrary selective. It is indeed very arbitrary. Those stats update every week and they chose to do an article about this weeks update. It happened to be that the o2 concerts of QAL were in this update. The US and Canada concerts were reported earlier already.

Very interesting indeed that the O2 concerts didn't sell out officially, but I think this has to do with tickets becoming available on the day of the concert. It was sold out at first and then suddenly there were standing tickets available the day before the concert. The question it raises is how many did they keep behind for those last day sales. Apparently that were about 1,000 per concert as they didn't sell about 1,900 tickets over two shows. This is the venues fault. Not the artist IMO.

Yes, and it happened at many venues with QAL: there were suddenly last minute tickets, where nothing had been available for months. Maybe it’s because they cannot really say beforehand, how much room the catwalk with the B-stage will really need? Or how many seats the artists themselves will need for friends and family? In Prague there where more than 200 seats suddenly available, right across from the stage in the lower tier. Great seats!! Almost a whole block. I find that weird.🤔

And why are so many other tours missing. It just seems so arbitrary selective. What does that mean? In the whole scheme of things not a damn thing. Those are weekly reports not cumulative, it might include 15 shows, like this one does for McCartney; and two for someone else, like QAL. It is a summary of whatever was reported that week by the venue or promoter. Here is a link where you can see the actual report. www.billboard.com/biz/current-boxscore

We'll wait for cumulative data then for 2017. Thanks for clarifying.

Gelly Retweeted IslandGirl islandgirljams5h5 hours ago Brand NEW!! QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT -amazing audience applause for Adam and Somebody To Love, London, Wembley youtu.be/CqrCma_89VM via Janna I LOVED that moment!! And in this vid you can’t even hear properly the foot stomping throughout the arena. It was really really loud. And the audience would have gone on for a bit too, if Adam had let them. Never heard a roar like that just for Adam and it made my heart sing. Also, there must have been someone next to me videoing, or very close, because this is what I remember seeing 😄
